Case Study

Somerset-based Kingshay Ltd are independent dairy consultants. With JPY's help they provide a suite of web-based tools, allowing farmers to monitor their livestock’s carbon footprint and optimise the management of their dairy herds. Kingshay’s services include a reporting package for both the farmer and the farmer’s suppliers - enabling exactly the right feedstuff to be ordered based upon electronic measurement of herd performance. This results in lower supply costs and reduced carbon footprint.

We also developed, with Kingshay, an on-farm carbon assessment tool for a leading supermarket. The project was initially developed for dairy herds, but has subsequently been greatly extended to include beef, sheep, pigs, poultry and other farm crops. Assessors are able to gather data from farms using specially prepared laptops, often where no internet connection is available and then synchronise back later. Our cloud-hosted infrastructure provides a central hub to which desktop and web applications connect, enabling the processes to work seamlessly. The data gathered has allowed farmers to achieve cost and carbon efficiencies covering a multitude of farm practices.

Kingshay's business is now heavily technology driven, in a way that could only be achieved by partnering with technology experts and not being satisfied with what off-the-shelf software products were able to deliver.
